NEW SCAM which is a wave of Payroll Direct Deposit Attacks.
There is a new Direct Deposit attack you need to watch out for. It is a sophisticated scam that starts with an official looking email asking you to click a link and access a website. You are then asked to confirm the data with your real username and password. The Scammers use your info to access payroll portals, and reroute your direct deposit amounts to bank accounts owned by the bad guys. NEVER GIVE ANYONE YOUR CREDENTIALS IN RESPONSE TO AN EMAIL.

People tend to trust other people too much when they receive telephone calls. When this occurs they don’t use good common scents, and they don’t think the situation through completely.

Such is the case last Saturday. A local citizen received a telephone call from a person identifying themselves as a member of law enforcement. The victim was told there was a federal warrant out for his arrest. If he did not stay on the telephone and go to the nearest outlet to buy green dot cards, he would be immediately arrested.

Thousands of dollars of green dot cards were purchased. The information on the green dot cards were provided to this imaginary peace officer. Sheriff Proctor was later called about the alledged warrant. Sheriff Proctor had to break the news to him that he was a victim of a scam, and his money was gone.
